FIELD GOAL BY BEATTY
Game at Opening of New Greensboro
War Memorial Stadium as Part of
the Armistice Day Program.
Guilford Quakers and High Point
Panthers dedicated Greensboro's War
Memorial Stadium 011 Armistice Day
with a closely fought football game.
The final score, 7-3, does not do jus
tice to the fighting spirit that both
teams displayed. Guilford out-played
her opponents for three-quarters, but
lacked the final scrap in the last quar
ter to hold High Point scoreless.
The Guilford team, though lighter,
displayed better defensive work
throughout the game, and the decision
was in doubt until the final whistle
blew. Depending 011 line plays
throughout the game, Guilford kept
High Point up in the air most of the
game. There was no really startling
football shown by either team, but
there were anxious moments when the
spectators were put 011 edge by the
breaks of the game.
High Point had a slight edge 011 Guil
ford in punting and through this they
were enabled to score in the last period.
They developed a hard-hitting attack
and by driving through Guilford's left
wing put the ball over for a touchdown
seven minutes before the game was
over. Method, High Point halfback,
was largely responsible for the winning
of the game.

PROFESSOR D.RILEY
TALKS ON COLLEGE
Gives Interesting Statistics On
Why Students Choose a
Certain College
FINANCES MAIN REASON
"Why Go to College?" or "Why Go
to Guilford College?" was the topic for
a talk given in chapel Friday morning
by Prof. D. Riley Haworth.
Professor Haworth opened his talk
by giving some statistics. In the
United States there are 500 colleges,
40,000 teachers, and about 400,000 stu
dents. About 1 per cent of all Amer
icans are college graduates, but this
one per cent furnishes 55 per cent of
our presidents, 54 per cent of our vice
presidents, 47 per cent of the speakers
of the House of Representatives, 36
per cent of the secretaries of state, 50
per cent of the treasurers, 67 per cent
of the attorney-generals, and 69 per
cent of the Supreme Court judges. The
chances for eminence are 3 per cent for
college men to one for non-college men.
Two hundred and seventy-seven times
as many college men amass wealth as
do non-college men. In the German
colleges one-third of the students die
because of overwork, one-third because
of dissipation, and the remaining one
third rule Germany.
Iu pointing out the reasons why peo
ple choose different colleges, Professor
Hawortli gave the following statistics
obtained from a questionnaire sent to
100 college graduates: Financial rea
sons, 40; influence of friends, 8; type
of alumni, 32, and standing of the in
stitution, 10. The most important value

GUILFORDIAN
"Uncle Joe" Cannon
Born Near Guilford
At the death of "Uncle Joe" Can
non, who was for years the undis
puted dictator of the House of Rep
resentatives, Guilford County and
Guilford Community has lost one
of her most noted characters. Guil
ford College feels as though she has
first claim to Uncle Joe since he
was horn about one-half mile north
west of the college on the old Sam
Smith farm, now owned by Robert
E. Hodgin, although he left Guil
ford at the age of four with his
father to settle in Illinois.
Guilford, at this time pays tribute
to "Uncle Joe," who ends his ca
reer as the eldest statesman of the
nation; the man of longest service
in the Congress.
FREDERIC SAINTY IS
GUEST AT GUILFORD
English Friend Touring Amer
ica Promoting International
Fellowship
SPEAKS SATURDAY NIGHT
Frederic Sainty, a member of Toten
ham Monthly Meeting of Friends held
'lll London, England, who has been vis
iting in the United States for the past
two months in the interest of promot
ing the spirit of international fellow
ship, has for three days been a guest
of Guilford College.
Saturday night in Memorial hall Mr.
Sainty spoke to the faculty and stu
dent body about the hardships and suf
ferings of English Friends during the
recent war. The speaker stated that
he was not a Friend by birth. For a
while he was engaged in the manufac
turing of battleships. Although his
relatives, and other people of his type,
were opposed to such habits as smok
ing and drinking, they were not op
posed to war. Later, to the disappoint
ment of his parents, he became a
Friend.
In the description of the period of
severe punishment for those who re
fused to bear arms the speaker told of
the rapid growth and work of the Am
bulance Unit started by Friends. Cam
bridge students joined this organiza
tion, went to France, and started to
work immediately. This unit of con
scientious objectors built a number of
hospitals, ran ambulance trains and
motor ambulances to and from the front
lines of battle, and also had charge of
mail and food supplies to refugees.

THE GOSPEL TEAMS ON
TRIP TO SPRINGFIELD
For the last two Sunday evenings
four Aospel Teams have visited differ
ent meetings in neighboring communi
ties. November 14, however, only one
team went out to hold a meeting. With
Waldo Williams as its leader, this
group went to Springfield meeting
where different members spoke and
sang.
The people of the communities into
which these Gospel teams go seem to
appreciate the work which the college
students are doing.
It not only affords meetings where
they might otherwise be impossible, but
is extremely helpful to the students,
who are preparing to do this sort of
work.

IS AN ENJOYABLE EVENT
Zays Give Play at Memorial Hall as
Part of Program and Then Hold
Reception at Founders.
The meeting of the Zatasion Literary
Society Friday night was the occasion
of a reception tendered the men of the
Websterian Society.
The regular program was opened in
the auditorium at Memorial hall by a
one-act Carolina folk-play, "Peggie,"
by Harold Williamson; a tragedy of
the poor whites of a Carolina planta
tion. The performance was given by
the following cast:
Will Warren—Bernice Mitchell.
Mag Warren—Doris Joyner.
Peggie—Myra Gamble.
Herman —Delia Shore.
Jed —Lola Beeson.
John McDonald—Elizabeth White,
Wesley McDonald—Sara Edgerton
The next numbers of the program
also had the Carolinia flavor, which was
the theme of the evening. Naomi My
rick sang two songs, including the ever
popular "Mighty Lak a Rose."
The last feature was a group of read
ings by Lorena Booker. Iler impersona
tion of an embarrassed mountaineer
child struggling through the lines of
"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" was
instantaneously popular. She also gave
Riley Scott's "November In Carolina"
as a musical reading.
At the close of the program of enter
tainment President Wolff welcomed the
Websterian guests. Wilmer Steele re
sponded to the welcome, and Henry
Tew, Paul Swanson, Gurney Collins,
and Olin Sink spoke, expressing the
good-will of the Websterians and their
enjoyment of the entertainment. The
society members then spent several

Guilford Invites All State Colleges to Send
Delegates Here to Form a Debating League
Guilford College, taking the lead in
forming an Intercollegiate Forensic
League, has invited representatives
from "all the colleges in the state to he
her guests 011 Saturday, November 20,
at which time a discussion will take
place concerning the advisability of
forming an Intercollegiate Debating
League, the duty of which shall be to
decide upon the question or questions
for debate, and which colleges shall de
bate one another during the year.
This meeting was called by Dr. El

'Seven Keys to Baldpate'
The Dramatic Council hereby
wishes to officially announce the
presentation of the fall play,
"Seven Keys to Baldpate," a mys
tery play by George M. Cohan, at
Memorial hall, Saturday evening,
December 11.
This play has won .a world-wide
reputation as being one of the best
mystery plays ever produced. It is
decidedly unlike the majority of
modern plays, in that there is no
possible evidence of the final out
come, thereby producing a surprise
to all at the end.
Irregular practices have already
been held and steady ones begin
this week as the play books delayed
have arrived.
Under the supervision of Mrs.
Raymond Binford the Dramatic
Council feels sure this play will
be one of the best ever produced at
Guilford. The entire cast is one
of former experience in dramatics
which gives further assurance of a
successful performance.
Since the presentation of the fall
play is one of the biggest features
of the year at Guilford College, it
is worth the individual's time, both
student and alumni, to do personal
advertising. A full evening of gen
uine entertainment is assured.

spring.
Before setting a definite date for the
meeting, Dr. Perisho wrote to all the
state colleges to find out whether or not
they would be interested in such an or
ganization, and whether they would
send two representatives, one a faculty
member and another a student, to Guil
ford College as a central meeting place,
to talk over plans, and to formulate
some kind of an organization. Prac
tically all the colleges responded im
mediately and expressed themselves as
favoring such an organization. The
details will be worked out Saturday
afternoon if the representatives see fit
to take action.

Progress in actual form has been no
ticed in the past week on "The Quaker."
Before too many of the leaves had
fallen to hide the green carpet of the
campus, new campus scenes have been
photographed. Wooten-Moulton Pho
tographic Company, of Greensboro, is
doing the work.
And, too, the art editors have given
ideas for the class cartoons to the artist,
Mr. Hugh Dixon, of Pleasant Garden,
N. C. The seniors are rapidly racking
their brains for activities they have
participated in within the past four
years. The History of the class, Proph
ecy, and Last Will and Testament, will
soon be under way.
Some very old cuts of former Guil
ford buildings have been found, such
as the old meeting house, the two King
halls that have been burned, Founders
before it was remodelled, and the old
board walk. In order to further the
Quaker scheme throughout the book,
these are being considered for division
page illustrations instead of using
stock drawings.
So far there have been only 110 sub
scriptions collected. This means there
are 150 more students who are failing
to give financial aid to the Quaker.
This not only means a drawback to the
business manager, but a drawback to
the entire staff. Universal student
body co-operation is needed to make the
Quaker a success. The staff is giving
hours of free time to fundamental work
on the book, and to make this work
worth while, and feel to them that it is
worth while, they need the genuine
hacking of the entire student body.

PROF.TURNER TELLS
OF COST OF QUAKER

Manager, Asks Better Co
operation of Students
ANNUAL TO COST $1,900
"Guilford College needs an annual,"
said Prof. E. Hill Turner in chapel
Tuesday morning, "because four years
in school at Guilford should have the
memory of those days recorded, and
there is no better way of recording
them than through an annual."
In any undertaking, the cost must al
ways l>e considered, so it is with "The
Quaker." It is estimated that the pub
lication of this book will cost $1,900.
This means that at least 200 annuals
must be sold on the campus at $5 each,
which leaves $4.50 on every individual
copy to be'collected in other ways.
Edwin Rozelle came forward and in
sisted that each student invest $5 in
an annual. He also insisted that each
student who expects to buy one should
make a deposit fee of $2 at once, since
the Quaker staff cannot begin work
with less than S4OO.
In conclusion Mr. Rozelle said, "The
success of the annual depends entirely
upon the student body."
